Eyelid Surgery.

Blepharoplasty is the surgical correction of excess skin, fat, and loosened muscle in the upper or lower eyelids. It may be performed for aesthetic reasons as well as functional ones (sagging that limits the visual field).

The eye is the most expressive part of the face — its rejuvenation transforms the whole face.

In upper blepharoplasty, the incision is placed within the natural lid crease; in lower blepharoplasty, just below the lash line or inside the lid (transconjunctival). Scars become nearly invisible in a short time.

The most suitable technique for the patient is selected among the main approaches below:

Generally common in individuals aged 35+, but in certain hereditary conditions it can be applied at earlier ages.

• Sagging and hooded appearance on the upper eyelid
• Bags and dark circles on the lower lid
• Puffy periocular appearance especially in the morning
• Sagging lids that make makeup difficult or cause it to smudge
• Upper lid sagging enough to restrict the visual field

Note: Conditions such as dry eye, thyroid disease, or eyelid twitches must be evaluated before surgery.

First 3 days

Swelling and bruising. Cold compresses and head-elevated position are important. Eye drop use begins.

Sutures removed (upper lid). Bruising fades and becomes concealable with makeup.

Weeks 2 – 4

Full return to social life. Eye area appears rested and rejuvenated.
